Downloading Software
N o t e
The earliest version of OS software files supporting the FDDI Module in the
Switch 2000 is
A_02_01.swi
and
A_02_01.fdd
. The version numbers of
the FDDI Module OS software and the Switch 2000 OS software should match.
For more on this topic, refer to “FDDI Module OS Version” on page 25.
Observe the following when downloading the OS software to the Switch 2000:
■
filename
.swi
and
filename
.fdd
must be in the same directory
■
filename
must be the same for both files (that is, the files must be
the
.swi
and
.fdd
file pair from the disk or from the self-extracting file
j3100a.exe
mentioned on page 5.
For the above reasons, avoid placing the
filename
.swi and
filename
.fdd
in separate directories, and avoid renaming them.
N o t e
The latest version of the Switch 2000 OS supports all Switch 2000 Modules
currently available. If you are installing more than one type of Switch 2000
module and/or if it is necessary to download a new version of the Switch 2000
OS, use the latest version available. To support the FDDI Module, use OS
version A.02.01 or later. The Switch 2000 Ethernet and 100VG Modules operate
with any version of Switch 2000 OS software. For more on software compat-
ibility, see the
readme.txt
file included on the disk and in the compressed,
self-extracting
j3100a.exe
file from the electronic sources mentioned on
page 3.
